“Portrait of the artist’s wife” is one of the many works of Vasily Vasilyevich Rozhdestvensky. It is worth noting that, choosing a name for the work, the artist went along a very simple path.

“Portrait of a Woman,” one of Picasso’s most famous paintings, was painted in 1936. Experts attribute this time to the period of surrealism in the work of Picasso, when the artist was seriously carried away by this trend for more than ten years, creating many outstanding examples of surrealist painting. Surrealism is characterized by a significant increase in the feminine, embodied in the originality and pictorial features of the paintings: instead of the sharp, broken lines and angular figures characteristic of Cubism, the central place is occupied by rounded, soft forms; the paintings acquire bright, saturated colors and are marked by extremely high sensuality, not characteristic of other styles.

The artist who painted in the style of primitivism, a man about whom many facts of the biography are restored after his death.

The self-taught artist did not know anything about the painting technique, did not know the anatomical nuances, did not know how to draw.

The painting "Barge Hauler" (1870) is one of the works that preceded the appearance of the large-scale and famous painting by Ilya Efimovich Repin "Barge Haulers on the Volga", a portrait of the hooded Kanin.
